Thank you, Nelson Mandela

I’d be remiss if I didn’t say something about the passing of Nelson Mandela, who passed away last Thursday and whose memorial service is being held now as I type this.

Back in the day, I majored in political science in University, as well as taking a lot of history courses, and I must say it was a momentous time to be taking courses like that. I got to see several major historical and political events unfold, but the two biggest to me was the coming down of the Berlin Wall, and the release of Nelson Mandela, which led to the end of apartheid, and his becoming President.

A world icon has passed away, and any memorial service probably won’t do justice to his legacy. Thank you for all you did.
